The Odd Couple with Rob Parker & Kelvin Washington

Rob and Kelvin debate whether former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald should come out of retirement to play alongside Myles Garrett with the Los Angeles Rams, tell us why the umpires were dead wrong to eject University of Georgia star Tre Phelps for celebrating a key home run, and discuss whether Draymond Green is right when he says the New York Knicks winning the Eastern Conference isn’t too impressive.

Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the Oklahoma City Thunder being eliminated from the NBA Playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs — and the fallout could be massive.

Parker goes all in, calling the loss a potential turning point in NBA history and arguing OKC’s dynasty hopes are officially dead. Meanwhile, Kelvin pushes back on the bigger picture, explaining why the league’s constant turnover of champions is a problem and why he wanted to see OKC get a real shot at building something lasting.

Is this the end of a potential dynasty before it ever began? And is the NBA missing the dominance that once defined eras?
